I forgot to mention that I was on the way to closing out the game when 96 carry DJ Greenwood fumbled to give it to levious. So much shit happened after that I forgot all about it. How the fuck do I counter that, with 97 carry SJax? Would it be that different?

Didn't even know that levious was 3-0 coming into the game. I assume that they were all clock milking affairs as well. I couldn't even adjust to his offense because I was lulled to sleep by the time he snapped the ball.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
I said hopefully or probably by 8, I asked if you had a deadline, if you did I would have rushed more.

Sorry for keeping you waiting. It was a good game as always.

Ok, sorry for controlling the clock as well?

I would often audible to a wide run and you would shift your linebackers, I would then have to audible again.

he got me in the first game of the year, but it was a good gameplan, though i'm not sure if he truly understands why it's so good, or maybe he does....i think he does.

Wellington, calm down! Next time you should talk to the person you're playing on XBL during the game. That helped me not be mad at Eznark even though he's a stupid cheating cheater that CHEATS

It is a good gameplan against some teams, it's what I like to do to high powered offenses. Just grind them and force them to make mistakes.

Unfortunately my mistakes were the game jobbing me to death.

Covering Harvin is not cheating. With Tra Tra I don't even need to double him.

Lastly, I would love to launch Janoris Jenkins into outer space. I have never seen a CB rated highly in the appropriate categories stink so much. If I didn't just need a warm body there he'd be cut in a heart beat. Too bad that the #1 CB prospect is now a WR.

don't cry about the pick you threw, that was a bad decision.

OK next time I see anyone manually move a safety away from a play, and my receiver have two steps on the DB, I won't make the correct throw. What was a bad decision was your TD toss into triple coverage, but it happened to work out for you, just like the fumble, just like the downed punt. Give me a break. This game is over and neither the punt nor the int happen if a perfectly rested player holds onto a ball with just over 2 mins left in the game.

he wasn't free over the top, my FS was in a zone to the deep right. He's the one that got the pick. There were three defenders there with your one guy.

My td was not into triple coverage, but it was tight, you could have swatted the ball if you were controlling whoever was there.


and one of your redzone td passes was thrown between two defenders that didn't react. I managed to move on.

Of course you moved on, you got the miracle fumble at the end and the miracle downed punt.

I don't understand, you even said to me via XBL that you figured I'd be salty but it's a problem now? Give me a break.

I didn't expect this much, maybe "some" appreciation for the good matchup, I don't know wellie, I guess this isn't your worst meltdown, perhaps I should have just left it alone.

It was certainly a good chess match.

I've raised BSH across the board for all of my defenders and this was the first time that I really didn't see it pay off. Especially with Osi in at RE, I couldn't get off of blocks and runs to the left were open.

When I hot routed defenders into the middle of the field you went outside to Witten, when I didn't you went inside, bad luck for me.

On paper I should have dominated your offensive line but I didn't even pressure Romo outside of the one sack, and that was a CB blitz. I am getting little production from the four slots.

Haha GG! You were abusing my user defender all game. Injuring a star player never felt so good when I hit stick Treon Patrick and broke his collar bone in the 4th, I'd apologize but the dude's a Gator. The two user picks on your last two drives of the game felt nice too, though that last one I was out of position, Griffin can be so fast + I think it was a bit underthrown. Was so surprised I picked that one.

I've done that almost exclusively to my dline with little change, wonder if I should have focused on power and finesse moves instead.

Yea, that last one was the infuriating one. It was Murphy and he had a few steps on both defenders. Good ol' Madden. Lol

Didn't even look to see how long Patrick is out for. I don't think I want to know. Even the madden Browns are snake bitten. Your run defense is beastly.

Blah blah blah. IRL I'm not even a hot head or emotional. One broken laptop and I'm labeled for life!

Let's face it, if the same things happened to anyone else in those circumstances, they'd be just as salty. That was a lot of BS in a game that I essentially had locked down. Now I am in deep shit for the playoffs with levious at 4-0 and having a tiebreaker over me.

So do we conclude that AWR is just as if not more important to blockers than the actual blocking stats? It's clear that it helps linemen locate blocks in pass protection. It helps pulling guards hit pick the right guy up-field rather than peeling back inside to someone that is just perceived as a threat, and it helps with TEs and FBs with identifying defenders as well.

I incorrectly thought BCV helped FBs with where to go as well. There is no evidence for that.

A lot of my opponents ask why I have had so much success with setting the edge, and I really think this is the reason. What I've seen happen is if I run a big wing set and call a power/toss/counter, the TEs often curl up and seal the edge and the two pulling guards try to pick up the safeties.

Or even out of the I-Form, the FB will come up around the corner and hit the next guy over that doesn't get picked up by the TE

I stopped upgrading RBK for my TEs and FB because I just need them to get in the way of the defenders. What I started doing more of was boosting AWR and IBL. I feel like guys are straight away nailing every single block the way I want them to. I need to test more to determine if pathfinding. I feel as if with my best Gs pulling and two oncoming defenders split left and right, they run where I run.

It took me awhile, but I now regret trading Larry Fitzgerald. My receivers just never, ever, ever get separation. They get shut down in man so completely it's embarrassing.

GG man. Had to calm myself down after the minor meltdown 2nd quarter, thought I'd blown it. Need my guys to stop dropping balls! 5 drops! I liked how on the fumble Mays forced, my guy right nearby dove exactly the wrong way haha. Made up for it on my lucky recovery of my own though. Much closer game than the score shows.
